2012 FC Dallas Schedule: Fewer Summer Day Games Is A Positive

Read More: Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas

The MLS schedule makers have finally done FC Dallas a favor, finally limiting the number of day games they play at home. As Big D Soccer points out, this is a welcome change from years past:

-The start times for 5 of the 6 home games in June, July and August have been moved back to 8PM. A fantastic move by FCD and one that has been needed for a long time.

FC Dallas will also get plenty of national TV attention. Including the five Spanish-language broadcasts they'll participate in, they will be on national TV 12 times. They will get five matches on NBC Sports, one on ESPN and one on ESPN2.

One downside to the new schedule was that FC Dallas will play the Houston Dynamo just once. That game will be played at BBVA Compass Bank Stadium on June 16. That game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
